[OpenLayers-Users] WMSGetFeatureInfo selecting only filtered eliments

[Håvard Wahl Kongsgård]

Hi, when using OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo instead of
map.events.register to get  element. With WMSGetFeatureInfo is it
possible to restrict elements end users can selected to only filtered
elements?

The standard openlayer code in geoserver, uses map.events.register to
select only filtered elements. In the OpenLayers API it was not clear
if this was possible for WMSGetFeatureInfo?

                // support GetFeatureInfo
                map.events.register('click', map, function (e) {

"Loading... please wait...";

simple example select example with WMSGetFeatureInfo

info = new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({
            url: 'http://something.com:8080/geoserver/wms',
            title: 'Identify features by clicking',
            layers: [tiled],

                    map.addPopup(new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud(
                        "chicken",
                        map.getLonLatFromPixel(event.xy),
                        null,
